08:01 AM ET 08.09 | The bar, at this point, may be set a little too high for Robert Griffin III. What is the level of success that RGIII has to have not to be considered a failure? ... When asked this week about comparisons to other quarterbacks Shanahan has coached, it was RGIII who brought up the names John Elway and Steve Young. "I don't ever shy away from expectations or people trying to put pressure on me to be great," he told reporters. "I'm going to try to go out and be the best I can be. So whether that's John Elway, Steve Young or Robert Griffin III, I'll make sure I do that." Elway and Young in the same sentence with RGIII -- speaking of himself in the third person. What could go wrong?

The next cycle of stories will go back to how he should be a first ballot Hall of Famer and how he will change the game forever. We don't need to actually have him play football.

I'm amazed the Examiner has an article in here. They've had an ax to grind against Snyder for years. It even got to the point where Snyder was about to sue them for defamation a year or two ago.

What could go wrong you ask. Just a couple things pop to mind. 1. Your a rookie QB and more wash out than become stars. 2. Shanahan is your head coach and he is completely washed up.
Oh and lets not forget the Lil' Danny factor.

Do the Skins even bother giving them press credentials, or is the Examiner bitter about being on the outside looking in?

Most of the time the media sucks! Just trying to create a story out of absolutely nothin'. He's a young man and like most youngin's he's not media savvy. He had no idea that he shouldn't have mentioned those Hall of Famers like he did because this is exactly the type of stuff reporters run with. So sad, give the guy a break.

And then Snyder's lawyers informed him nothing had ever been written by the paper about him that was not factually true. Up until this point in time, Snyder has been the village idiot in a place teeming with the biggest idiots from villages all across the Country.

No, they have none..... Matter of fact, I don't think they have press credentials for D.C. United.
Very bitter... Even went at Snyder's wife a few years back... How he hasn't bought this paper yet, and fired everyone is beyond me.

After last year, it would be hard for RG-III to not be a big improvement. Every team in the NFC East is suspect. Any team could finish fourth, and any team could finish first.
Hail to the Redskins!

Not true, eh? Comments about the man's wife, as she battled cancer? Pictures of the man with horns drawn on depicting him as the devil.

Didn't take you 50 years of NFL fandom to grow up, eh ?
